Hotels lobby also concerned about impact of industrial action on domestic tourismPILOTS have served notice of an indefinite work-to-rule at Aer Lingus this evening. ​A strike by Aer Lingus pilots is likely to cost the airline between €20m and €25m a day, the company has warned. Their union is legally required to give Aer Lingus a minimum of seven days’ notice, meaning their action could begin next week. That would cost Aer Lingus between €40m to €45m a year. Captain Tighe said the pay claim was “to ensure that pilots’ pay has the same purchasing power as it did in 2019”.
